Kerry have the golden touch
K
Kerry unveiled their new away jersey in last weekend’s victory over Mayo and opinion is very much divided on the provocative new colours.
The Paul Galvin-designed strip consists of a gold jersey with black trim, black shorts and black socks, a far cry from the predominantly blue change kits of the past.
If Twitter is anything to go by, former Kerry players (or Paul Galvin’s friends, if you want to be cynical about it) were universally in favour of the new jersey but not all of the feedback was positive. Personally I think it’s nice. Not as nice as the new home jersey but that would be very difficult feat.
It was definitely strange to see Kerry play in such unconventional colours, although it didn’t seem to bother the players too much. Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s young team put in a fine performance and held on for an impressive 1-15 to 2-9 win, despite finishing the game with just 13 men.
Ronan Shanahan and Gavin Crowley both received their marching orders in the second half but Kerry remained dogged in defence and, crucially, composed in possession to see the match out.
The one negative was the injury to David Clifford which forced him off midway through the first half. Clifford was subsequently unable to line out for IT Tralee in the Sigerson Cup midweek and is a doubt for Sunday’s game against Monaghan. Gavin Crowley has a hamstring strain and may also be unavailable.
Kerry will be looking to make it three out of three in Clones but they certainly won’t have it all their own way. The sides have met five times in the league in the last eight years, with the Kingdom winning three to Monaghan’s two.
Monaghan beat the Kingdom in Killarney last year by 2-8 to 1-10.
